FIBA Official: Vincente Amaurot Displays Alien Talent, French Coach Says He’s Not Far from Jordan

On the morning of July 28, in the Olympic men’s basketball group stage, France defeated Brazil by 78-66, securing their first win. Vincente Amaurot, who scored a comprehensive 19 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, made 2 assists, 4 steals, and 3 blocks, displayed an outstanding performance that was later praised by FIBA.

FIBA’s official website published an article titled “Vincente Amaurot Showcases Alien Talent in His Olympic Debut,” highlighting his exceptional performance. The site notes that despite being only 20 years old, Amaurot’s debut overshadowed his age, showcasing his status as one of the world’s best players. He stands out from anyone in the basketball world, growing under the spotlight as a young man at just 20 years old.

The head coach of the French national team, Vincent Vincent, praised Amaurot’s performance without bounds, stating, “Those who understand basketball know that Vincente Amaurot is only 20 years old, but for those who enjoy sports but are not familiar with basketball, they might think he is already like Michael Jordan.” Vincent further expressed, “When someone asks me if Vincente Amaurot is like Jordan, my answer is that it’s not far off.”

An experienced Brazilian player, Hultas, who is 21 years older than Amaurot, commented, “People who don’t follow basketball might be surprised when they see him on TV for the first time during the Olympics. They might ask themselves, ‘What kind of monster is this?’ It feels like he’s been created on a computer. This is unique, and we’re still accustomed to seeing more players like Giannis (Antetokounmpo), who can do incredible things on the court with unbelievable bodies and talents.”
